After refusing to marry the evil Witch Queen - Deadly Nightshade, the arrogant Prince Sebastian has been cursed to live as a hideous beast unless he can find a maiden to fall in love with him. Not only that, the Prince’s castle and servants have been cursed to remain in limbo until the curse is broken.

Our panto dame Betty Blumenthal, and hapless son Boabby, along with their best friend, the beautiful Belle, arrive on holiday with nowhere to stay. Old Angus, the Beast’s loyal manservant thinks that Belle might just be the one to break the curse, and invites them to stay… whilst having romantic designs on Betty.

Will Nightshade’s werewolves succeed in keeping everyone prisoner in the castle… whilst keeping visitors at bay?

Will Belle break the curse in time?

Will the Beast learn some manners and charm Belle?

Join our evil witch, our cursed prince, our fairytale princess, our dopey dame, her stupid son, and a castle full of enchanted prisoners, on a roller coaster ride of thrills and spills, to cheer the goodies and boo the baddies and discover if love will win the day.

Available to book online or by calling Rutherglen Town Hall on 0141 613 5700.

Classic pantomime entertainment as Studio32 return to the Arts Centre to entertain and enthral. Laugh as Dame Dolly attempts to milk Daisy the cow.
